Music keeps me working. It’s as if I do more work when music is playing in my ear.

I finally end a “never-ending” conference call, and the appropriate “f*ck that b*atch” song comes on and I’m back in the swing of it all cursing and designing.

It’s great.

I usually have the Pandora website playing in the background because I like being able to select an artist and having them create a playlist based on who I chose. They’ll play my favorite songs, but they’ll also throw in some new ones that I usually like as well. If I like the new songs, I’ll open up Google and download the song to add to my iTunes to throw into my daily run or workout.

Today, I thought about simply purchasing Pandora One so that I can take advantage of some of the features that they’ve listed.

• Unlimited Listening
• No Ads
• Higher Quality Audio
• Fewer Interruptions
• Custom Skins

Now, I’m a designer, so you know when I saw ‘Custom Skins’ my thought was, “Suh-weeet! Maybe it’s like FireFox and WinAmp! Maybe they’ll have a Community where I can create and share my own Skin!” But I don’t think Pandora does that yet. If someone in development hasn’t come up with that idea yet, they need a new development team. My ideas are available for hire…kinda.

I think I might purchase it today and see how it is. I’ll let you know.

If you have it, let ME know what YOU think.
